•Something they liked to cook: Cooking wasn't one of their better skills!

•A funny story: One day, my Grammy was watching my baby brother and me when she noticed brown stuff on the floor. Not thinking too much about it, she vacuumed it up. I then saw my baby brother crawling away, leaving a brown trail behind him, and I realized he was the source of the unknown substance! Her vacuum carried the memory through the odor it left behind for a LONG time after! Once, my PopPop was given a wrapped cheeseburger-shaped tablet. Not realizing it was a tablet, he microwaved it and did not realize until the flames lit up the room!

•Jobs: Retired

•Hobbies: Watching movies, collecting 45s and yard sales.

•They liked to talk about the time: When they had black and white TVs, when gas was a dime per gallon and the milkman brought you fresh dairy milk.

•Something they bought me: My first phone, against my parents wishes.

•Some place they took me to: Dutch Wonderland

•Comments: Losing my Grammy (51) and PopPop (53) two weeks apart was very difficult for me to deal with. It showed me early on the value of life! Tomorrow is not guaranteed! If you have health, you have wealth!
